Study Notes
Altered Cell and Tissue Biology
Macrophages
-
Types:
- M1 (classically activated): pro-inflammatory, antimicrobial
- M2 (alternatively activated): anti-inflammatory, tissue repair
-
Functions:
- Phagocytosis: engulf and digest foreign particles and debris
- Antigen presentation: process and present antigens to T-cells
- Cytokine production: regulate inflammation and immune response
- Tissue repair: promote healing and tissue remodeling
Acute Inflammation
-
Characteristics:
- Rapid onset and resolution
- Localized response to tissue injury or infection
- Increased blood flow, permeability, and immune cell recruitment
-
Phases:
- Vasodilation: increased blood flow and permeability
- Leukocyte recruitment: neutrophils and macrophages migrate to site
- Debris removal: phagocytosis and clearance of foreign particles
- Tissue repair: restoration of normal tissue architecture
Chronic Inflammation
-
Characteristics:
- Prolonged and persistent inflammation
- Inadequate resolution of acute inflammation
- Tissue damage and fibrosis
-
Consequences:
- Tissue remodeling and scarring
- Impaired organ function
- Increased risk of cancer and other diseases
HIV/AIDS
-
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV):
- Retrovirus that targets CD4+ T-cells (helper T-cells)
- Impairs immune function and increases susceptibility to infections
-
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS):
- Advanced stage of HIV infection
- Characterized by severe immunosuppression and opportunistic infections
Primary Immunodeficiency
-
Inherited disorders:
- Defects in immune cell development or function
- Increased susceptibility to infections
-
Examples:
- Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID)
- Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID)
- X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia (XLA)
Altered Cell and Tissue Biology
Macrophages
- M1 macrophages: Classically activated, pro-inflammatory, and antimicrobial.
- M2 macrophages: Alternatively activated, anti-inflammatory, and involved in tissue repair.
- Phagocytosis: Engulf and digest foreign particles and debris.
- Antigen presentation: Process and present antigens to T-cells.
- Cytokine production: Regulate inflammation and immune response.
- Tissue repair: Promote healing and tissue remodeling.
Acute Inflammation
- Rapid onset and resolution: Short-lived response to tissue injury or infection.
- Localized response: Increased blood flow, permeability, and immune cell recruitment.
- Vasodilation: Increased blood flow and permeability.
- Leukocyte recruitment: Neutrophils and macrophages migrate to site.
- Debris removal: Phagocytosis and clearance of foreign particles.
- Tissue repair: Restoration of normal tissue architecture.
Chronic Inflammation
- Prolonged and persistent inflammation: Inadequate resolution of acute inflammation.
- Tissue damage and fibrosis: Long-term consequences of chronic inflammation.
- Tissue remodeling and scarring: Irreversible tissue damage.
- Impaired organ function: Consequences of chronic inflammation.
- Increased risk of cancer and other diseases: Chronic inflammation's long-term effects.
HIV/AIDS
- HIV: Retrovirus that targets CD4+ T-cells (helper T-cells), impairing immune function.
- Immune system impairment: Increased susceptibility to infections.
- AIDS: Advanced stage of HIV infection, characterized by severe immunosuppression and opportunistic infections.
Primary Immunodeficiency
- Inherited disorders: Defects in immune cell development or function, increasing susceptibility to infections.
- Examples of primary immunodeficiencies: Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), and X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia (XLA).
